Thanks to his national title, Franck Demougeot joined the French team for his first participation in this international competition. He strung together victories in the tournament, winning two bouts in the pool stage, then three in the final phase, including a win against a former world champion.
In the final, he was defeated by a more experienced opponent, but his performance is described as exceptional. His preparation had been meticulous, including three training camps at the Creps in Toulouse.
Michel Arrouy, mayor of Frontignan la Peyrade and community councillor, recently congratulated Franck Demougeot during the Forum des associations.
The vice-world champion will now have to confirm his place in the national team at the upcoming French championships. This adventure is considered decisive, with the support of his club and the municipality.
